Got the garden sown couple of weeks ago, need to sort a lawnmower now.

Garden is 0.3 of an acre & a decent slope linking 2 sections of it. Wondering whether best to go with a robot or a ride on & what I would need to be considering on both considering size & slope (need to work out the grade).

Anyone any experience of similar?

Many stones in the soil?

If there was get a local handyman to cut it for the first few times as you'd ruin a good lawnmower on it. 

I like the idea of a robot, but it doesn't look as good as when you get the lines from a proper cut.

Well, to give the other side...

Glad to hear I was misinformed about Amazon's backing down though

What Amazon was proposing on another of their sites, not the main Amazon.com one was to show clearly to the buyer how much of the product costs would be attributed to the tariffs.

That's what triggered Trump and the blonde Lady Haw Haw.

The tariffs are still being paid by US consumers though.

More attention. 52 year old ref prob 5 2 sad small syndrome man bet you love giving the cards to a normal size male.

53 and 5'6 .. fool

Is Flowerpot a fan of yours from a previous pseudonym?

Who knows, but I love pressing the right buttons..

MR2, you need to be banned from this DB for bringing the crazies to the yard.

Like flies round shíte 

GAA HQ sending legal letters around to social media accounts on how they aren't allowed to use the word GAA. Will this site have to change its name to gaelic-gamesboard.com?

Stats and solo account sums it up well.

What's this now??

One of these numerous online coaching guru's trading under the GAA banner told to stop doing so as people may believe he's affiliated with the GAA when he isn't. He's a Gaelic football coach of sorts as well so GAA doesn't reflect his "skillset" either.

would a problem be are the clubs too bunched up in some areas?  St Pauls, Rossa, Sarsfields.  St Galls, St Johns, O'Donnells. Eire Og, St Aggies. 

Has anyone did a study of what is optimum? like in an urban environment would 10,000 people per club be the norm? appreciate it is vastly different than the country clubs where much less is expected.

Working at a high level, If Dublin has a pop of roughly 1.5m and 134 clubs that leaves it loosely at 11,000 per club.   If West Belfast has a pop of 100,000 people then 10 clubs would be the suggestion. lots of Belfast specifics to consider including spacing out the clubs.     

Not sure the geographic location of any of the clubs comes into it, I would imagine looking at it that none of them are pulling huge numbers from their locality any way.

If anyone from South Antrim/Belfast was doing the stats of the potential playing base of primary school children in those catchment area's and correlated that against the actual numbers affiliated to the clubs in that same area you'd have a better idea of the size of the problem.

Belfast clubs don't remotely compare in size to their Dublin city or indeed Cork city clubs when it comes to members, and active members at that.

While that is also a fact, it wasn't the issue.
Ulster Colleges identified CPC played an ineligible player and took the title off them. No winner this year.

What age are the Forestors games?

In the normal GAA world you can play down to four calendar years, so if it's old school 5th yr, U16.5 then they could by old school 2nd years U13.5 and still be OK unless the colleges have their own byelaws.

You'd have to wonder how an outfit who can tell what car a Hizbullah leader drives in Beirut didn't know that Hamas was planning a major invasion/operation/outrage.

You'd have to think the extremist Government knew and let it happen to give them the excuse it needed to drive the people from Gaza, annex it and fill it with illegal "settlers".

yeah, because Hamas soldiers on the back of motorbikes were able to do this to hundreds of Israeli cars..



No US supplied gunships and drones were involved 

The Hannibal directive in full view.

Both debacles centre around Ballycastle fielding a ringer in the Forresters final.

alleged or proven at this stage?

From what I can tell neither Forester's or Gallagher Cup finished this year.

According to their website C&P won the Foresters cup on penalties in March.

Very good documentary from Theroux. Much of his other stuff is boring, bit this is worth watching.

Is this  a recent thing?

within the last year as one of the Zionist talks about Oct 7th being an opportunity to realise her vision of resettling of Gaza..

Was same with "ooh aah up the 'Ra"... contrived hysteria. DUP won't be happy with that statement, including apology, from Kneecap... pulls the carpet from under their faux outrage.

Carla Lockhart has already said that the apology isn't enough.  It's the same old DUP tactic.

This Carla Lockhart?

Didn't Meat play Bundoran  not so long ago? Something tells me it was  in a big tent

2008 and a day later than expected due to health and safety issues with the tent.

Ah, so it did happen. I didn't  dream  it.  I wish more  bands would  play places like that.

Did  the saw doctors ever play on Clare Island?  And if not , why not?

Big Meaty hit some really low points financially after his big hits and ended up gigging in lots of small bars, obscure places to make ends meet before he teamed up again with Steinman for the relaunch.

You gotta remember it's the person who writes the song that makes the most in royalties etc etc.

A country openly supporting the genocide in Israel...

Shocked by that one.

Sensible from Kneecap.

"Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.

We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action. "

"Out of context???"

What I do really love though is the unionist "outrage" and extensive coverage it's getting in the NI news cycle yet not a dickie bird about the loyalist band parades annual sectarian diatribe and big Gav in his OO sash preaching about sectarianism without the slightest bit of self awareness..
When's he meeting the UVF and UDA leaders again???

It would be considered staggering and bare faced hypocrisy in any other place in the world but not good ole NI.

Not a big fan of their music but keep 'er lit Kneecap.

Fair play to them, raising awareness and using their platform when many others aren't.

Cheering on Hamas and Hezbollah (who killed Sean Rooney). Calling for MPs to be killed
That's really going to help.

Sean Rooney's killing was a terrible deed. Is many awful acts carried out by these groupings.
Israel and the US has committed mass atrocities for decades. Armed groups are going to appear in the face of an imperialist onslaught, often on a population of innocent civilians. IRA was same here.. who were the terrorists though?
Did Kneecap call for killing of Tory MPs? Stupid if true although in the euphoria of a gig, I doubt they meant it literally.

When Israel are trying to paint everyone who objects to their genocide as Hamas supporters, idiots like Kneecap give them an open goal. They need to grow the f**k up and get wise otherwise they will be destroyed (attempt ongoing).

Idiots for calling out genocide? And destroyed by who exactly?

No, idiots for calling for People to kill their local MP!

There's worse things said and done in the houses of parliament that has actually led to the deaths of thousands people.

Let's not kid ourselves this wasn't an issue until they called out the Israelis at Coachella.

Zionist Israelies and their proxies doing their best to cover up their genocide.

Louis Theroux will be next and all he did was let the colonisers talk openly about their genocidal mentality.
